Last Clinical

Michael is so sweet! This last Saturday he surprised me with flowers and food when I got home from clinical. He said we had to celebrate my last day of clinical. It was only proper that we celebrate together since this boy has been waking up before his alarm clock every week to send me to school and work with breakfast and a packed lunch. He's gotten up early to take my home work to the hospital because I had left it home (and was gonna be sent home if the teacher asked for it) and took me some treats to the hospital that I had left at home. This man of mine loves me so much and does a great job and reminding me if it every day. These past months have been so stressful and Michael has stepped up with the cooking, cleaning, walking dogs while I have my face stuck in my books. He will also give me back massages when he sees that I'm stressing about school and tests. I'm so lucky to call him mine! I have a little under 3 weeks left till finals and as long as I don't screw anything up I will be graduating soon. May 20th could not get here fast enough! 

21, Again

For my 26 birthday I woke up to the smell of roses and my mom singing 'las mañanitas to me' and grandma called me right after that and played me a birthday song on the harmonica, made my day! I felt so special that my grandma remembered my birthday and called me from Mexico to wish me a happy birthday, grandparents are the best! 

Marcia made me the most delicious birthday dinner ever. I don't know if she's noticed, but I ask for the same thing every year, funeral potatoes and pasta salad...yum! 

She even made dessert 

Grandma and grandpa were here for the celebration 

Ridgy was so nice to help me blow out the candles, slobber and all. I can't believe another year has passed. Since I'm traumatized from seeing people

pass away in the hospital all the time, I am always so greatful to wake up every morning free of sickness and with the love of my life next to me. I'm so happy I was blessed with one more year. But I don't even feel 26, as far as I'm concerned I'm still 21 :) Cheers to another year, can't wait to see what the next year has in store for me!

Nielsons

Mikes grandparents visited a couple of weeks ago. They are the funnest people to hang out with. They're so down to earth and incredibly sweet and friendly. We took them out to eat one night and had such a great night hangin out with them. They were even sweet enough to help us move into our new house and helped out with the cleaning. We love it when they come over and we love going to visit them. They always make us feel so welcomed. Grandma Nielson introduced us to a game called Tenzi while they were here and it has now become a new favorite 

We could not stop laughing while playing this game, Odin thought we were so loud and would tell us to be quiet. I can't wait to see them again. They are coming for my graduation and I'm sure a couple of rounds of Tenzi will be played :)
